<p><em>It's not that Korean children don't want to go back, but rather they cannot go back.</em> </p> <p>This is very true but I think this extends outside of education. Depending on age, conscription can play a huge role in not returning to Korea (for males anyway). Because the lineage of a...

<p>Had a ton of respect for Bill Gross...until today. </p> <p>Looks like he's in favor of a bailout. </p> <p><a...

<em>My wife went there yseterday and said she will never go back. She said it was more expensive than any Ralphs in this area. Good-bye!</em> Maybe in terms of produce as most of the offering is organic. Other than produce, the prices are no different from the other two Ralph's stores...

<p>I believe "Ask Fleck" is a subscribed service. </p> <p>I wouldn't advise posting the exact column, but a brief synopsis would be nice. </p>

<p>As amoul stated, the commute to the 405 in the AM is not bad at all. I think it's the string of 3 lights from the Knowlwood restarant to the 5 onramp is what creates a bottleneck during the PM commute. The merge from a 3 lane to 2 lane road going home doesn't help much either. </p>

<p>Breaking news headline from CNNmoney:</p> <p><strong>CEO of No. 1 mortgage lender Countrywide doesn't see housing recovery before 2009, Reuters reports. More soon.</strong></p>

<p>I also commend IN for posting his/her experience. It sounds like IN is in it for the long haul and can comfortably afford the place he/she bought. </p> <p>Congrats to you again IN and good luck! </p>

<p><em>Would you feel really bad to those that you reccomend to wait when future prices will turn out to be higher than now?</em> </p> <p>What does this have to do with the OP's issue? Honestly, I think you post on these boards to troll and antagonize more than provide some value added...

<p><em>new glass tower right off the 405 at park place is there's as well.</em> </p> <p>Not trying to derail this thread, but the fiance and I were wondering what this building was for? Commercial only?</p>

<p><em>HOA has reserves to cover for lack of members</em></p> <p>Keep in mind that this is not always the case. A special assessment may be collected in the future to repair/upgrade infrastructure as a result of an inadequate "war chest". </p>

<p>nirvinerealtor --</p> <p>What exactly about the layout did you not like? Which residences in particular? </p>

<p>Point noted. But the "right price" will involve an offset of significant cost that is weighed on either the principal or buyer (especially in this market). I don't care if you sell a home in 1 day or 1 year...there will be significant transaction costs in real estate. Real estate is...

<p><em>Real estate is also very liquid.</em></p> <p>Please tell me you're saying that in jest. </p>

<p>nirvinerealtor --</p> <p>Although you have some valid points (although subjective) of the Orange County market, what do you think is happening to home equity right this very second in Orange County? Evaporating! You say that no one "has any use for stocks except for equity". I'm not what...

Great read.

<p><em>8. Price drops in near future? Who cares - Your payment does not go up or down. - It's only a paper loss</em></p> <p>I stopped reading right there. </p>

<p>Welcome to Irvine!</p> <p>Please enjoy your stay.</p>

<p>For the sake of convenience, Mello Roos and the basic levy tax rate/bonds should be lumped together to find a "single percentage" amount. You do not get separate bills for the special assessment and your basic taxes. They are both aggregated. </p>

<p>Iceeman --</p> <p>The shock of Mello Roos and HOA together on newer communities can be quite a shock at first glance. Depending on where you live, Mello Roos will vary. Newer communities in Irvine are notorious for their high Mello Roos. It amazes me how many families can actually afford...

<p><em>Wow......very beautiful. So let me get this straight, most of the people on this site are "waiting for 08" and "waiting for Orchard Hills" because the bubble will burst, the market will crash, there will be tons of inventory due to foreclosures and prices will drop so that in 08, when...
